Pros

Plenty of room to grow in many directions. The size of the firm allows for many possible career paths.

Cons

The culture is so thick, you need a knife to cut through it. Very difficult to get things done. Politics rule the day and everyone is only interested in covering their behind. Red tape everywhere. A normal request that used to take hours 10 years ago now takes six months to complete.

Pros

Great Benefits and colleagues, but poor management here. Some managers are decent, but expectations are extremely high for a very low base pay. Very little to no room for advancement within the company unless management favors you. Metrics and monthly sales quotas are highly stressed, but they do nothing for you in regard to moving up in the company.

Cons

Very low base pay Little to no room for advancement High sales quotas/ little bonus Toxic management Extended hours No OVERTIME PAY
